John Shea Architectural Watercolours

John Shea

Newboro Lake, ON - Canada

Born in Montreal, Quebec, I now live on Newboro Lake where I maintain a garden studio overlooking Rosal Bay. I first attended the School of Art & Design at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for two years, went on to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University and a Bachelor of Education from Queen�s University in Kingston.

After teaching Art for 25 years, I am now a full time artist. Prior to teaching, I worked as an Architectural Renderer and this is reflected in my love of portraying local heritage buildings in and around the Rideau Lakes area. My watercolours, or �Architectural Portraits� are set in landscapes that are at times both dramatic and serene, lending an atmosphere of quiet mystery to my work.
Thank you to all my clients who made 2011 such a wondeful year.
